Not to mention the sling tackle on Jayden Hunt.  Not even a free kick???  Go figure.  You know the next thing?  Even with the bull tish umpiring we are still winning.  Maybe the arbiter's wheel might also turn, come finals time.

It bloody better.

Meanwhile, Riewoldt gets away with not one but two instances of using studs up, kicking his opponent underneath the ball.

Christian really is an inept imbecile.

Wow.. thought that sling tackle was definitely worth a week, considering how late in the tackle he was dumped on his head.

 

maybe it’s just based on who was tackled and who was tackling?

Genuinely baffled McKay didn't get a week or at least fine for that. It was the definition of a sling tackle, Hunt was lucky to avoid injury. The difference in optics between the McKay tackle and the Lycett tackle last week is not that great...

So when I saw it at the ground I thought McKay had driven his head into the ground. Replay shows absolutely nothing in it.

That was quite a weak knee. Barely touched him and just a knee push with little force. 

On one hand these fines are annoying on the other it shows how the team is playing with aggression and a nasty edge we haven’t seen in a Melbourne side for a very long time (ever?)....that’s what successful teams do

I agree there's not much in it, but at the same time you don't need to put your knee into someone's chest after you throw them off your teammate. It just incites more niggle.


Did Caleb Daniel get cited for his tackle on Gray? Pinned both arms and head bounced off the ground. Only difference to the Lycett one the week prior was the Crows player was KO'd. Another example of the MRO punishing the outcome and not the action.

lol I see these in every game. Dusty dropped 2 into Lever’s head. Nada. 
 

Anyway, still plays so who cares. Should’ve kneed the lot of em.

Holy cow, how does that constitute $3k ($2k with an early plea)? Barely any force behind it at all, I'd even question if at actually made a forceful contact! FMD

I actually think McKay slows the final part of the tackle down to prevent the dangerous sling part. It's perhaps an example that it's slowly creating change.

I just find it incredible that Rampe's flip from last week, which WAS dangerous, gets totally ignored while TMac gets a fine for that.

Tmac only got fined because Gerard Healy made a big stink about Mummy dropping the knee’s  into a prostrate Zac Merret last week on ON THE COUCH. Of course Mummy got away with it and it was far worse than what Tmac did. Shamed Christian on TV to take action.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
